Wills and Trusts
Coral Gables Wills and Trusts Lawyer
When seeking information and answers to questions regarding the creation of wills and/or trusts, clients often contact me, attorney Mary Jean Catinchi Mella. I have years of legal experience and now focus my practice on handling the various aspects of estate planning for my clients across South Florida.
Wills
By creating a will, you are taking a necessary step forward in protecting and preserving your assets and legacy for your own future and future generations of your family. I am dedicated to helping clients understand the importance of a will, living will, and any other documents that allow you to express your wishes in the event you cannot communicate them yourself. You can also ensure that material possessions are left to the desired recipient.
Along with helping clients create their wills, I provide assistance establishing a variety of other documents and designations that are part of the comprehensive estate planning process, including power of attorney, living wills and health care surrogate forms. For clients that have real property in several states and/or countries, an ancillary will (secondary will) may be necessary.
Trusts
Establishing a trust is one effective way of protecting your assets. When meeting with me, I can examine your individual situation and determine the best type of trust that suits your goals for your assets. Some of the types of trusts I help create include:
- Revocable inter vivos trust
- Irrevocable life insurance trust
- Irrevocable or testamentary trusts
- Grandchild's trust
With my background, I am able to assist clients in dealing with tax implications that arise in conjunction with wills and trusts.
Contact me, attorney Mary Jean C. Mella today to learn more about how I may be able to help you effectively address issues regarding wills and trusts. I am dedicated to helping my clients understand their options and providing guidance throughout the entirety of the case. Get in touch with me and schedule your initial consultation. Spanish services are also available.
